Hendrick Sorgh, 1643 - A Kitchen - fine art print

Supplemental information from the museum's website (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

In this painting, Sorgh inflects a domestic scene with the art of still life. Two maids clean fish and peel vegetables in the foreground, surrounded by gleaming brass and earthenware. A closer look reveals a mischievous cat, an open birdcage, and, barely visible between the two servants, a couple caressing in the shadows. Even such seemingly innocuous elements as the earthenware pots would have carried an erotic connotation for seventeenth-century viewers.
